Steady on the CDT
TrailJournals.com has been pretty quiet on the Continental Divide Trail so far this year, even though snow levels are way below average. At last there’s a a post from Steady, lured into just one more hike as described by his transcriber:
Once again I watch Steady prepare to walk away down the trail. During and after the PCT he told everyone that this was the only long distance hike that he would do. But you thru-hikers know that once you hike a long trail you are never the same again. That you have to BE there again. That the taste of the sunrises and sunsets, the high mountain vistas, the stream crossings, the sheer beauty of it all and the personal challenges conquered…all these things lure you on. And the friendships forged are extraordinary.
